It’s been years and I never “got” Danhausen. I think I get him now. And props to him honestly for getting this over after that debut. #WWEBacklash

BREAKING: @democracydefendersfund.org w/ @splcenter.org @scsjofficial.bsky.social @lulacorg.bsky.social @commoncause.org & LWVFL are filing suit to STOP DeSantis's new Florida congressional map 60%+ of FL voters banned partisan gerrymandering in 2010 This map defies voters' will

Voting is a right, not a privilege. We will continue fighting for and building back the most hard-won protections to our democracy, no matter what the courts say. 📸 Will Martinez

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is not the end of the fight - it is a call to action, and we are answering it. RSVP now for an urgent conversation with legal experts from both the ACLU and LDF, and the clients from the case: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

We have the party not in power, but we do not have an opposition party.

The Supreme Court got it wrong today. Their decision to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act will leave Black voters and other voters of color even more vulnerable to attacks on our freedom to vote and be represented fairly. Our fight for our democracy is not over.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana map that fairly represents Black voters, gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. This devastating attack from the Court majority destroys protections for voters of color across the country.

Evergreen reminder this 420: No one should be in prison for weed.

New episode out! We caught Alexandra Glorioso and Lawrence Mower — on their wedding anniversary of all days — and talked: - Hope Florida scandal - the Legislature’s failure to pass a budget - Florida’s new “domestic terrorism” law Check out Tropical Depression where you get podcasts!

Let us be clear: We have a First Amendment right to record federal agents working in public.

WE ARE ON STRIKE TODAY! As someone who regularly looks at ProPublica web traffic, today's the only day of my career I want to see low numbers. We know our readers support our union. Don't read us today. We'll be there tomorrow.

During the anti-ICE school walkouts in January, a group of students in Chandler were targeted by an armed agitator. Turns out it was Phoenix PD Sergeant Dusten Mullen. He admitted his plan was to try to get purposely assaulted so the teenager protesters would all get arrested (it didn’t work).

The ACLU has quickly filed a federal lawsuit challenging Florida Republicans’ new voter suppression law. Link to the complaint: assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

BREAKING: We're challenging a new Florida law that requires voters to have "evidence of citizenship on file," such as a birth certificate or passport, to register to vote. Unnecessary and burdensome laws like these make it harder for people to participate in our democracy.

BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis just signed Florida’s new anti-voter law, HB 991. This “show your papers” law adds unnecessary barriers to voting, so @aclu.org and @aclufl.bsky.social are suing. In America, voters choose our leaders — politicians don’t get to choose who votes. We’ll see you in court.

People across the nation are taking to the streets on March 28 to peacefully protest the Trump administration’s abuse of power. Heading out this weekend? Join our Know Your Rights While Protesting trainings where we'll discuss what you need to know to safely protest in your community.

Glades County Detention Center has a sordid history -- built for profit, relying on revenue bonds -- bonds backed by expected profits www.vera.org/in-our-backy...

The politicians and activists pushing these attacks are part of a well-funded and coordinated nationwide effort to remove trans people from public life. We can fight for the future our families deserve. Resist these attempts to push people into the shadows based on who they are or who they love.

Update: Dolores Huerta has released a statement. In it, she confirms the Times's reporting, and supports the other women who have come forward. "I have kept this secret long enough. My silence ends here."

The Cesar Chavez story discussed yesterday is out, in the New York Times. Two women say that he sexually assaulted them as children, beginning when they were 12 and 13. And Dolores Huerta says he raped her in 1966.

here in the heart of darkness (florida) the moral arc's bending toward earth again

Grady Judd saying these words is actually ACTUALLY shocking

Anyone who knows Grady Judd just sprained the muscles that raise their eyebrows

Deportation must be polling like turds

"'I don’t mean give [non-criminal immigrants] a free pass,' Judd said, listing potential smaller ways to punish undocumented immigrants, including making them put their kids in school." This is more indication of a definitive shift away from hardline mass deportations from MAGA supporters.

I am legitimately shocked, yes.

Grady Judd endorsing immigration reform and calling for the Trump admin to pull back on deportation is seismic. He is a strong Trump and DeSantis ally who has been a hardliner on immigration for years.

He's doing the Black Bush bit. Stankonia is providing help 😭😭😭

This is a REALLY big deal. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd: “…we are on the ground floor with this day in and day out — looking in the eyes of these folks that, yes, came here inappropriately. But some came here inappropriately only to do better for themselves and their family.”

RIGHT NOW Florida is ramming through a last-minute bill to give the state the power to designate groups as “domestic terrorists.” Students who “promote” a group would be expelled. Reporting shows it came from the Governor’s office after students protested the Israeli government.

Democrats in the Florida Senate tried to remove this provision but it failed on a 12-24 vote. One Republican senator – Sen. Alexis Calatyud (R-Miami) – voted to take it out of the bill.

Republican lawmakers in Florida are about to pass a bill designed to suppress turnout on on university and college campuses. The legislation (HB 991) would stop university students from using their student IDs as identification when they show up at their polling place to vote.

BAM ADEBAYO. FRANCHISE RECORD.

To those who respond with “Why bother” or “My rep doesn’t care” whenever orgs tell you to call and email: This is why. Advocacy matters. It can save lives. Don’t ever forget it.

Ron DeSantis’s office wrote a bill that can easily be abused to target organizations for speech because they didn’t like that college students were protesting the actions of a foreign government. No matter your politics, HB 1471 threatens your free speech. ACT NOW: action.aclu.org/send-message...

As Florida censors a college textbook on sociology, cutting mentions of ‘racism’ down from 115 to 6, the whitewashing of history and facts continues in the “Free State of Florida.…

There’s still time to kill this bill. The House will convene on Monday. Flood their inboxes opposing this bill!

Combine this with HB 1471 that’s very close to passing. It would allow the Florida Cabinet (stacked w/ DeSantis appointees) to designate nonprofits as “domestic terrorist organizations” and you have a very scary escalation of power in the state executive branch.

Special envoy for the shield

Markwayne Mullin is the most “defensive coordinator the whole team hates” option we have

We first called for Kristi Noem to be fired on Jan 27, 2026. Nearly 5 weeks later… she’s gone. This is proof that people power works when we raise our voices together.

New @thefloridatrib.bsky.social | Under Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida has spent three-quarters of a billion dollars creating a kind of parallel national security apparatus. A controversial series of surveillance and domestic terrorist bills will add to that accounting. floridatrib.org/2026/03/03/c...

Leadership’s approach in a dispute with the Miami-Dade School Board, WLRN staff wrote in a letter, “has led to an unthinkable scenario.”
